Roland DEP-5 demo

Published on Aug 3, 2014 SynthMania

"Demo of a few patches on the Roland DEP-5, a digital effects processor from 1986."

Benjolin

Published on Aug 3, 2014 synthdood

"Benjolin for Euro rack with built in 1/8" outputs and normalized for modular synth signals. This little analog synth makes the most AWESOME sounds! I have never heard another synth make sounds like this thing. It will play itself and change over time even if you don't touch any of the controls. Very cool!"

New Doepfer A-138u Dual Micro Eurorack Mixer

"Module A-138u is a simple, low-cost mixer with two units.
Each unit is equipped with three inputs and one output.
The upper unit has for each input a trimming potentiometer available that allows to adjust the amplification in the range 0...+1 for each input (factory setting is 1 for all inputs).
The inputs of the lower unit all have the same amplification +1.

The output of the upper unit is normalled to the first input of the lower unit.
That way the module can be used also as a mixer with five inputs: for this the inputs 1, 2 and 3 of the upper unit and the inputs 2 and 3 of the lower unit are used.
The sum output for all five signals is then the output of the lower unit.
As soon as a plug is inserted into input 1 of the lower unit the module becomes a dual 3-in-1 mixer again.
Inputs and Outputs are DC-coupled, i.e. audio and control signals can be mixed.

Application examples:
- Mixer for audio signals, e.g. three VCOs preceding a VCF, when the amplifications are adjusted slightly different no signal extinction occurs during the beat of the VCOs
- Mixer for control voltages (e.g. LFOs, envelope generators, random voltages)"

The module is planned for fall 2014, for a price around Euro 45.00
Price and release date are still without obligation !"

"Here's something you don't see too often! This module was built for me on request by the great Gotharman, and is a clone of the Steiner Synthacon multimode 2-pole. Sounds really gritty with high resonance, especially when blending filter types!

I should mention that this particular module is a very tight fit into my Eurorack case, although you may not have this problem. The dimensions are a bit weird and it may require some maneuvering."

Vermona Analogue Synthesizer SN 214904

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Vermona Dual Oscillator Analogue Synthesizer circa 1980. Genuinely rare item - grab a piece of East German / Soviet electronic history.

Cold War Sonic Weapon. Looks like a control panel from a 70's sci-fi film. Built like a tank, wooden end cheeks.

Dark, menacing, fat bass sounds as well as bright, soaring leads.

All functions working, pots cleaned recently so nice and smooth. Cosmetic condition pretty good, just the usual wear and tear for something of this age.

2 minor issues - the on off button never switches off (just unplug it) and a couple of keys pitch drift sometimes upon release (never bothered me as both oscillators have 5 octaves, and second oscillator can be tuned up or down a full octave). Likely a fiddle around with the key mechanisms would sort this."

"MobMuPlat (short for Mobile Music Platform) lets you create your own custom audio software for iOS, via the open-source audio environment PureData.

MobMuPlat hosts a list of user-created documents, each of which defines a user interface and audio engine. MobMuPlat can do synthesis, sampling, networking via local wifi, OSC messaging, query and set hardware characteristics, display images/graphics, and much more.
see www.mobmuplat.com for more info.

Creating your own work consists of two parts, both done on your laptop/desktop.
First, create a graphical user interface (GUI) with the MobMuPlat Editor.
Second, create the audio engine using the graphical programming language Pure Data (PD).
With both of these applications open, and data sent between the two, you can simulate the app behavior on your laptop/desktop. Once development is complete, just drag the two saved files into the "Documents" folder of iTunes, and they are uploaded to your device and can be opened in the MobMuPlat app...

Pittsburgh Modular Chain Reactor Module Demo

Published on Aug 3, 2014 Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers

"The Chain Reactor combines two of our classic VILFO modules with two additional free running LFOs to create an endless supply of chaotic fluctuations. VILFO1 and VILFO2 feature our unique voltage influence control. Voltage influence works differently than standard voltage control, it allows the incoming CV to mingle with the LFO waveforms in interesting ways, creating unique modulations and patterns. The output of each VILFO is a voltage controlled variable waveform that shifts from a triangle to square wave."

DigiTech iStomp Quick Demo with Synthesizer and Drum Machine

Published on Aug 3, 2014 zibbybone

"I recently picked up a 3 pack of iStomp pedals for my synths. These pedals are a great idea to keep down unnecessary inventory by being able to download a different effect into a pedal in about 30 seconds.

In this video I start off running a Roland Juno 106 (chorus turned off) through 2 pedals: one with "Stone Phase" (a Small Stone Phaser emulator) and the other with "Double Cross Delay" which is a ping-pong type delay that allows you to control the delay ratio of left and right sides.

Next, I load "Vintage Tape Delay" in place of "Double Cross" and continue to demo on the Juno

Last, I hook up a Korg MonoTribe up to the pedals and download "Dirty Robot" in place of the "Stone Phase". The Dirty Robot is a filter effect similar to the MF-101 Moogerfooger.

I'll try to demo more of these effects soon, so stay tuned!"

Korg MS 20 mini-A Space Odyssey on ACID

Published on Aug 3, 2014 SynthgodXXX

"Korg MS-20 mini-A Space Odyssey on ACID!
100% NO TALKING! Just pure Korg MS-20 mini,
Slight Multi-Tap Delay & Special 60's Space Visual Effects!!!!
The same as the last MS-20 Mini video--BUT with Effects!
Just shows what a difference effects can make on an Analog synth!
There is no CV action in this video, just sounds right off the synthesizer right out of the box with Delay.
There is a bit of distortion now on the signal & it seems the signal became a little too hot.

If you are thinking about picking one of these up, DO.
It will make you happy because of it's ease of use & pure Analog magic! Just remember to take a pic of your panel as you go making cool sounds, like the original-there is no memory to store your creations!!! But my god, it just is sooooo awesome!!
I am not trying to show off any playing skills, just a demo of what the MS-20 mini can do out of the box with a little effects.
Recorded into Ableton Live 9 with Delay FX.

Thank you for watching!!
Enjoy & please subscribe!!
More synthesizer demo videos on their way!!!"

Ensoniq VFX SD MIDI Keyboard Music Production Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The VFX/SD series is one of the most important synth series ever created. The VFX combined "ahead of its time"-sounds and technology and the performance aspect of the VFX's was (is, almost!) second-to-none. With addition of a very intuitive Performance/Sequencer-mode with the SD models, arguably, they are one of the finest hardware sequencers ever produced in a synth.

At the time, the market was flooded with cheaper $2000-and-under synthesizers. The Ensoniq Corporation, an American company created by computer programers and chip designers wanted to put out a keyboard with all the bells and whistles with no expense spared.
The VFX is a true synthesizer, not just a reprogrammed keyboard that plays sampled sounds or a simple workstation, and with the addition of the sequence-able SD models made them the very first true marketed Music Production Synthesizers.

The VFX was the first synth ever to offer oscillators with which the actual waveform can be modulated making the sound sequence more alive, ever changing with complexities of natural sound and dynamic synthesized soundscapes.

Features include:

61 key keyboard with velocity and polyphonic after touch. ( add modulation such as vibrato to notes by applying pressure to the keys.)
In addition to synthesizer sounds it has dozens of great sounding real instrument samples including piano, strings, guitars, drums, flutes etc. Up to 12 keyboard split zones can be programed
A 24 track, 25,000 note capacity MIDI sequencer allowing the user to unleash their musical creativity
A floppy disk drive for storing songs and sounds (patches)

MIDI IN, OUT and THROUGH hook-ups for connection to computer or other MIDI devices
20 effects algorithms including large hall, small room reverbs, flanging, delay and multi effect combinations
The ability to program and store your own sound from the dozens of sampled wave forms

Specifications

Polyphony - 21 voices
Oscillators - 1 to 6 per voice. Wavetable has 109 waveforms (multi-sampled acoustic instruments, sustained waveforms, harmonic and inharmonic structures)
LFO - 1 LFO
Filter - Dual multi-mode digital filters; High- and Low-Pass with 12 or 24 dB/Oct. Band-pass filter with 12 dB/Oct.
Envelopes - 3 11-stage envelopes
Sequencer - (VFX-SD only) 24-track, 25,000 note capacity (expandable to 75,000), 60 songs and sequences, 96 PPQN quantization resolution
Effects - 24-bit Dual VLSI Multi-Effects: reverb, chorus, flanging, and delay
Keyboard - 61 keys (velocity and polyphonic aftertouch)
Memory - VFX: 120 patches, 12 performances

VFX-SD: Over 200 patches, 3.5" disk drive for external loading and storage of sounds, sequences, songs, MIDI SysEx and VFX-SD sequencer Operating System.

Control - MIDI IN/OUT/THRU (12-channel multitimbral)"
